Hundreds of cars have been recovered, according to Detroit officials, through the daily broadcast of descriptions and numbers of stolen vehicles. One of the most amusing radia police cases is deséribed by W* J. Burns, former head of the bureau of investigation of the department of' justice. A youth rurchased a radio receiver, presented a false order from a public high sthool. When the dealer found hé had been defrauded, he alled, in a detective agency.* That night a local broadcasting tation read-a message which described the- boy aecurately; even | oown to a small scar on his: cheek, detailed the charge against him, and offered a fifty dollar reward for his-arrest. As expected, the boy and some of his friends were listening in. The next day his mother appeared and paid for the. set. ?

Not long ago a girl who had been in Cook County hospital at Chicago for more than two months, suffered from loss of memory, was taken to a broadcasting station and made a brief speech, asking anyone who might recognize her voice to identify her. A relative in St. fous happened to be listening in, hurried te Chicago and identified the: girl, Relatives of missing people and police departments are turn- ing to the radio to help find them.

LOVING MEMORY of Thomas Spencer, late of the Town- ship of Reach, who died on the 29th day of May, 1915. Ten years have passed and our hearts still sore, As' time goes on we miss him more. God took him for it was his will, But in our hearts he liveth still. His cheery ways, his smiling face Are lovely to recall; He had a kind word for each, And died beloved by all. Dear is the grave, where he is laid; Dear is the memory which never shall fade. Sweet is the hope, that again. we shall meet Kneeling tonpther at Jesus' feet. Sadly missed by mother and family.

The fourth Annual Ontario County Live Stock Judging Competition open to boys and young men from 16 years of age to 256 was held at Brooklin and Columbus on Friday, May 22nd. One hundred and fifteen contestants took part; ~which-- made the 'contest the biggest County affair of the kind ever held in the Province. The competitors came in car-loads from every part of the County, 38 communities heing represented. Ten rings of stock in all, were judged. The boys were given cards on which to mark their placings and were required in addition to give oral reasons on five rings or one of each Class of stock. Horseg were judged in the Hotel yard at Brooklin. Immediately be- fore the judging started, Mainspring the Ontario Government Clydesdale Stallion located at Brooklin, was led out by Mr! Geo. Saunders and Major R. B. Smitlg went over him point by point showing thosé present the im- portant things to look for in judging a Clydesdale, The contest then started with a ring of four fillies which. were sup- plied by Mr, Frank Batty, and a class of madres supplied by Mr. John Vipoud, both of Brooklin. The party of about 130 then proceeded to Mr. W. D. Dyers' where the contestants were divided 'into four 'groups and directed to classes of Shorthorn cows, Shorthorn heifers, Shropshire ewes and Cotswold ewes. The Cotswolds were supplied by Major Smith of Columbus, The "party then went on to Col- umbus where Mrs. Cook, aided by a bevy of pretty girls, served lunch to all present who were seated in groups about the lawn: After lunch the party proceeded to Elmeroft Stock Farm where they were welcomed by Mr. R,.Ray Me- Laughlin, again divided into groups and set to work on cladses of holstein cows, holstein heifers, = Yorkshire sows and finished bacon. The bacon hogs were brought in'by Mr. F. Wil- coxson, ¥ A group photograph was taken and the boys then went in turn before the five judges and explained to each in two minutes just why they placed the different rings of stock as they did, They were marked on a basis of 50 points of placing and 50 for reasons. It was intended that as soon as the last contestant. went through the judges' hands that the official judges would then each in his turn give the boys his placing and reasons. Owing to lateness of the hour of finishing, and® as many of the contestants had gone home, this' valuable part of the competition had to be omitted. The judges placings on each ring of stock | onl writen reasons on one will be sent 6 each of the competitors this week, together with the complete results of the contest.
